TO RELIEVE raE DOCKET.

Representative SPRINGER proposes to
introduce bill for the purpose OF pre-
venting the crowding OF the House
docket with private measures. He says
that OF the 1902 bills introduced in the
last Congress, four-hfths we're OF pri-
vats nstars. Almost the same measures
are brought forward at every Congress,
and the country is put to an expense OF
hundreds OF thousands OF dollars In
printing and rsprinting them MIR.
SPRISoEB's proposition is to have the
matters inserted in the forms Of petitions,
which will then be referred to the appro-
pirate committees, and il reported upon
favorably. printed This plan would re-
hevs the document clerks OF a good deal
OF work. but would necessitate the en-
pioyment OF one or more extra petition
clerks. The latter fact, however, Is not
likely to be an insuperable objection.
